I like the specs of the XPS, but don't like the built-in mirror. Granted, there's no eSATA port, but I can make do without.]]>Apr 2nd 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/dell-launches-freshened-vostro-1320-1520-and-1720-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/02/dell-launches-freshened-vostro-1320-1520-and-1720-laptops/IMHO much better than the Vostro with about the same price (here in Israel).
The Studio has a P8400 cpu, 4500MHD IGP, with eSata and hdmi out, and 2 outputs for earphones.
and it has a better keyboard, fingerprint reader, and normal speakers. (the touchpad however is worse).

It has FOUR USBs, two per side... see pics (and captions) here:

Also, happily, the keyboard seems to have been fixed. FTA: 'I could not find any area of flex on the keyboard, even when trying.'

Pulled the trigger for my wife today since they're on sale:

Cherry red, free XP downgrade, 2.1 GHz, Core 2 Duo, 3 GB, 250 GB freefall sense 7200 rpm drive, LED backlit, 2 yr extended, free laser mouse and belkin bag, integrated webcam... < $680 free delivery.

I, too, took the XP downgrade and was delighted to see that I also got the Vista software with it -- if I should decide to upgrade. I haven't heard many good things about Vista -- still waiting for that 2nd or 3rd service pack.

It's well worth the money, as far as I am concerned.]]>Jun 10th 2009 5:04PM
